Beautiful dive with POCNA - Wonderful dive with a great team, Federico is a great instructor and Jesus is really professional. We did a good technical refresh in the pool before going into open water. We saw turtles and rays, the subaquatic museum and the beautiful coral reef with a lot of fishes. I strongly recommend POCNA Dive Center!

Fantastic Dive Shop!!! - I did nine dives over 4 days with PocNa including MUSA, a shipwreck, a night dive, and a few drift dives. Everyone I encountered was so kind, helpful and professional. I felt like safety was a high priority and felt very comfortable as a solo female traveler who needed to be paired with a buddy for my dives. I rented equipment from them and had no problems whatsoever. They also arranged my whale shark snorkeling tour and offered suggestions for cenote diving. I would highly recommend diving with them!

I adore this dive center! The dive boat is never too crowded, usually just the guide and a few divers. - I love this dive center! The dive boat is never overcrowded, often with just the guide plus a few other divers. The underwater sights like Musa, the Machones reefs, Grampin Reef, and Sleeping Shark Cave are teeming with sea life including Nurse Sharks, Turtles, Pufferfish, Barracuda, Triggerfish, and more. We even spotted dolphins once! The wrecks, C55, C58, and Ultrafreeze, are fantastic, and sometimes the staff hunts lionfish, turning them into delicious Ceviche for the trip back. The staff, from the front desk to the dive instructors, are exceptional. Kate is particularly knowledgeable and helpful, Tyto is a marine biologist, Denny ensures relaxed dives, Fred is an excellent guide, and Lalo ties everything together on the boat. Lastly, shout out to Lina, a volunteer who's on her way to becoming a diver and serves delicious burgers at Isla Burger when not helping out at Pocna.

Pocna Dive Center Delivered - First, we found Pocna based upon a recommendation from a friend who went there and they said that they were flexible and able to accommodate our situation and offer us the best experience. He wasn't wrong. We were thinking of going to somewhere else in the Caribbean, but so glad we came to Pocna and Isla Mujeres. Manlio, the manager, responded to our special request via email with no problems to accommodate our group who was newly certified, long-time certified- but needed a refresher and our not yet certified - but who just needed their open-water dive tests. We asked if we could all be on the same boat, guide and have the newbie still get their skills test. Answer - YES. We wanted to do three days of diving with the last day being their drift dive at Punta Negra. - YES, they could do that. Could it be affordable with rental gear? - YES. Oh, by the way we want a fourth diver to join us on the last dive day, can that be arranged? YES. Did it all happen as expected? YES!!!!! The dive instructors/guides Frederico, Javi and Tyto all did such an excellent job of matching each of our needs while showing us some of the most incredible diving in the world. In our three days (six dives, six different spots) we saw turtles, barracuda, nurse shark, huge crab, eels, countless other fish in schools, individuals. They were great guides and just gave each of us pointers on being better divers. Calma~ Pocna is such a chill and relaxing atmosphere and everyone is so accommodating and willing to take the time needed to help you have a great time. Highly recommend them for all levels of divers and experiences. The equipment was really well maintained and in great working order. Great experience. Will be going back for sure. Got to see some eagle rays, whale shark, and who knows what else!

Reactivate with Pocna and Denni - I went to pocna five center to reactivate because I didn't feel comfortable in scuba diving after 2 years of non diving. All the poems team was very warm and reassuring. The instructor Denni was amazing : very professional but with a wonderful pedagogy and patience! I enjoyed the diving a lot! If you have the chance to do so : stop and scuba dive with pocna center!

MUSA and stains with Dany - Dany and the team at Pocna Padi Dive Center made us spend an incredible afternoon of diving. We saw rays, turtles, lobsters, moray eels, sea slugs and some beautiful coral reefs. Very attentive and friendly.

Scuba MUSA - The MUSA was fun, but the majority of the dive is to get to the statues and back. I would have loved more time looking into more detail instead of the the journey to there and back. I would also advise to let people know that a dive light would be beneficial on this tour so you can really see all the life dwelling. The dive boat was barely a dive boat, but the instructor cared a lot and if anyone works with Ponca dive center, Danni is truly kind and attentive.
